I came across these and couldn't resist ~

If any one knows anything about these I would be glad to
know more. I never had neat toys like this when I was a kid ~

The Iron American one needs two small iron wheels.

Hey,

Top left would seem to resemble a Geman 21 cm Morser,
The one to the lower right of it kinda has a German feel to it...perhaps meant to portray a 15 cm. I recall seeing a pic of such a piece with curved shield in Houthulst forest
The lowest one I would guess to be a British 60 Pdr. ....
 
Yes one is a 21 cm the other resembles the 1916 model 7.7 field gun, but could be generic for a slightly larger size also. The other is more like
a British Navel gun on a carriage of the Boer War period without any recoil mechanism perhaps a 4.7, though the toy was patented in 1915.

4.7 Toy Cannon

I found this image, can't quite make out who made it though.

Now I suppose I'll have to find a 4.7 projectile , a very small one ~:xd:

I'm not thinking the words very small and 4.7 inch projectile are ever used together.
